Five Weeks In A Balloon: Jules Verne's Voyages Extraordinaires Book #1
(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform June 25, 2016)
In this novels Verne gives readers a glimpse of the exploration of Africa, which was still not completely known to Europeans of the time, with explorers traveling all over the continent in search of its secrets. The novel is the first of the Voyages Extraordinaires , the 54-novel-series written by Verne, which in his own words intended “to conclude in story form my whole survey of the world’s surface and the heavens; there are still left corners of the world to which my thoughts have not yet penetrated … I have dealt with the moon, but a great deal remains to be done.” His attention to detail and scientific trivia, and his sense of wonder and exploration, are the backbone of the novels, in which the reader could acquire knowledge of geology, biology, astronomy, paleontology, oceanography, etc., as well as to travel to the exotic locations and cultures of the world through the adventures of Verne's protagonists. Some of the best known and most popular novels in history are part of this series, including Five Weeks in a Balloon (1863); Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864); Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea (1869–70); From the Earth to the Moon (1865); Around the World in Eighty Days (1873), etc.
